All around poor rating

I wish I had better things to say about this hotel but unfortunately we saw several cockroaches in our room, the elevator and the and the hallway. The floor and furniture were dusty. We chose this hotel to be closer to the beach which was the only good thing about the hotel. I do not recommend this hotel.

The property worked for our needs and fit our budget. Although everything was well used, the rooms and property were clean. I did find a single cockroach in my room and one on the outside of my room door. Both of which I took care of. I did not see any other insects in my room.

Looks like a horror movie

My husband didnt look at reviews we should have, he just saw the 160 and it was better than the 200 and 300 feom anywhere else we saw. So, The outside looked bad, but sometimes it can be good inside so we proceeded, the elevador was small and scary, the hallway reminded us of one of those horror hotel games also saw a roach in the hallway, when we got to our room it was not as pictured. There was a Hole in the corner with some kind of animal hair stuck to it. Could be rats. Noticed roach poop on the windowsill. The sheets had red stains on it, my daughter said it looked like blood. The bathroom was gross. The walls were stuckko up, and there were holes in the floor and the outlits wernt properly covered. There was a dead roach waiting for us inside the doo. I took some pictures for proof, but wanted to hurry and get my family out ASAP so we left right away. The website is false advertising its not even the same building and rooms pictured. I saw another family as we were leaving, the mom said she also saw roaches and was worried but they were not able to turn around and leave they had no where else to go. It lookes like they let the homeless live there, its disgusting. They should be shut down. There are no words. The run down plus the clealiness its scary. Its not even worth a penny to stay there. I get it if its in the middle of no where but this is a tourist place, where families stay. This is NOT SAFE. This is unacceptable. They need to be shut down.

The man checking us in is very rude. We asked for a room change because the AC did not work. Once we changed rooms it got worse, the TV didn’t work, there were holes on the wall, paint chipping, the worst part were the roaches. That was the last straw. We couldn’t stay the night, immediately asked for refund.
